Is there any way to kinda separate off an area that’s “yours”? Maybe hang a dividing curtain and set up some things that make YOU comfortable and happy? (Candles, incense, etc). They even make room darkening drapes that would allow you to control the lighting in your area. I know if it’s not YOUR place you may not have much leeway as far as furnishings or hanging things but it’s a thought.
Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine.
